Many churches are using Warren's work in place of the Bible - I've seen it's destruction first-hand.

Yes, and the Bible has been used, or more accurately misused over the centuries to cause first-hand destruction.

Regardless of one's opinion of Warren and the PDL, the point of this story remains that the book was used for good.

In that we should rejoice.

Agreed, which is why I approached Warren's work with caution. Upon further study of it, I came to the conclusion that he has a rather arrogant view of faith. Call it denominational differences, but it's dangerous for people to lap up one man's interpretation and loose theology without further study.

Initially, perhaps. But the true testimony will be if there was an honest conversion that took place because of the reading - a conversion that will bear fruit, or if it was just an emotional experience that will die in a couple of days.

Was it spiritual milk, or spiritual Parmalat?
